State slave population will be counted as 2 persons for each 5 slaves. 4) President not king, and shall act as if he is not the king. 5) Enumeration of rights- jefferson thought enumeration of rights was unnecessary in a "limited government" and any listing would inevitably omit certain ones and therefore some later judge (Bork, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, etc.) would claim that those listed are the only ones we have.<br><b>References : </b><br> Major issue: The Articles of Confederation are not working and must be fixed.

3) 2/5th rule. State slave population will be counted as 2 persons for each 5 slaves.

4) President not king, and shall act as if he is not the king.

5) Enumeration of rights- jefferson thought enumeration of rights was unnecessary in a "limited government" and any listing would inevitably omit certain ones and therefore some later judge (Bork, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, etc.) would claim that those listed are the only ones we have.
